We will find out the results of the MaterniT21 test next week.
I go back and forth, but right now I think we're going to have a another boy, because I haven't gained much weight, and because it seems like everyone I know is having boys at the moment. So, you know, really scientific.
I had blood drawn for QNatal Tuesday, so we should know in the next week or so. My first is a girl and I feel like this one is a boy. No real reason and I'm probably wrong, but we'll see.

I had the blood work for the panorama test done on Wednesday and they told me I'll be getting a call in less than two weeks. I'm hoping she gives me the genetic results over the phone, but is then willing to leave the sex on my voicemail so H and I can find out together.

sophiegrace, with DS, the OB told me the results on the phone and then emailed me the sex so DH and I could find out together. I hope my midwife is willing to do the same this time.
We'll find out at our anatomy scan in about 8 weeks. I feel like I'm having another girl since I have the same acne but this pregnancy has been much easier so maybe a boy instead?
Do any of you know the sex of your baby yet? If so, post it here!
If not, let us know when/if you will find out and whether you have a guess.
I came in here like sex?! DNW!!
We won't find out for sure until the anatomy scan later. MH didn't want to do the blood test for sex (he thought that would be anticlimactic). And I'm not sure how accurate they are for twins- I didn't really bother researching since we didn't think we would.
Techs guessed two boys, but it's early so we'll see if they wind up being right or not.
We won't find out until the anatomy scan. I had a feeling that DS was a boy. I have no strong feelings either way at this point. DH really wants another boy but mostly because girls scare him and he said he won't know what to do with her. My parents are hoping for a girl. I know my Dad wants to buy all the frills and bows.
We'll find out at the A/S, so another 7 weeks or so.
With DS, I just *knew* it was a boy (everyone else thought girl...I loved being right!) With this one, I'm leaning towards boy. Nothing scientific, but my pregnancy has been super similar to the first, and I had a dream we were having another boy.
This is random but somewhat related...SIL recently said something like, "Oh, I hope it's a girl so I can spoil her!" in regards to my pregnancy.
Maybe it's hormones but it rubbed me the wrong way. First, we live 3 hours apart and have seen her *maybe* 6 times since DS was born. All but one of those occasions, we traveled to her. I know she loves DS but she just doesn't make much effort to see him at all. But suddenly she claims she's going to make a ton of effort if we have a daughter? IDK. I'm probably being overly sensitive but I rolled my eyes a bit.

I am usually not overly sensative, lots of things roll right off me, but this pisses me off. I would live to shop for a girl, I mean the clothes are so cute. But saying you're going to spoil or favor because of gender is annoying.
Eta: Haha, I meant to say "love to shop" but "live to shop for a girl" fits too, so I'm leaving it.
We'll have the fetal DNA testing done tomorrow (it was Mat21 last time, but not sure if it's Panorama, Harmony, Verifi, etc. this time). But... unless both the surviving pregnancy and ectopic were girls, it won't be conclusive. So there's a solid chance we'll have to wait till the A/S.
hangry live to shop...love to shop. Same difference
I'm glad I'm not the only one who would be annoyed. My SIL is kind of self-absorbed and...not someone I'd consider overly bright, so I tend to ignore most of her dumb comments, but I had to bite my tongue on this one.
Eta: and honestly, due to aforementioned self-absorption, I highly doubt we will see or hear more of her than we do now even if we have a girl.
LizInFL - that would piss me off horribly. After dealing with IF twice, I get annoyed at anyone who expresses anything other than joy that we were able to have a second child - they can bite me. All I wanted was to get pregnant - being disappointed (more than a small, "Oh darn, a girl would have been fun, but yay for another boy!") will not be tolerated by anyone. Fuck that.
(ETA: we don't know yet if it's another boy or a girl. We will find out as soon as possible - at least at the anatomy scan but I am hoping they can tell at our NT scan. My gut says girl, so I have started to daydream about that, but I don't really care. My Mom and Dad might be legit disappointed though if it's another boy, and they'll just have to deal with that.)
We should find out Friday! I'm thinking another boy but it's not as strong as a feeling as I had with my son so I don't think I have expectations one way or another just excited to find out.
Team green here. I kind of want to find out this time so I can mentally prepare, but mh really loves not knowing.
Tbh if I have a girl, I'd be terrified of some of the awful girl outfits that may be gifted by family. I am pretty picky about what DS wears, and there are just so many more styles for girls. Same goes for toys, I prefer gender neutral toys than gender specific.
tallblonde Completely understand about the girls' clothing! I've always thought it would be easier with girls bc there are more choices. But after my recent experiences shopping for both newborn and toddler outfits for girls, I was less than impressed. DNW my toddler to look like a teenager, thanks.
We will find out after our anatomy scan at our gender reveal bbq. So...6-7 weeks from now. I'll be happy with either. I know DH will be, too, even though I know he really wants a boy. I don't really have any intuitive feelings either way, but I did have a dream that it's another girl. But maybe that's because I have a girl so it's all I know? We'll see!

I didn't even think about teenage looking clothes! Or those obnoxious tshirts that say future trophy wife or something. Maybe I just want to stick with boy clothes.
+1 for Team Green so it'll be a while yet til I know!
I don't really have any vibes either way this time around. I was so sure DS was a girl and was obviously wrong so maybe it's a good thing that I have no idea this time.
Part of me is desperately hoping this is a girl. But at the same time I can't imagine being disappointed with another boy. DS would be so cute with either a boy or a girl sibling. I'm just so excited to see him as a big brother!
hangry I can't stand children's clothing with any kind of sexual undertone. Even things like the boy onesies that say "seriously handsome" rub me the wrong way, but I feel like it's so much worse with girl clothing. If this baby is a girl and I get "future trophy wife" anything, it is going straight in the trash.

As a mom of a girl who really avoids frills and absolutely refuses any of the crap you mention there is a lot of cute simple clothes out there too. let me know and I can help you out.
And I don't care if it's gifted my kid won't wear that crap but most my friends and family know and agree with me so it's been a non issue.

Haven't decided yet about what we are going to do in terms of finding out. DH wants to find out, I'm leaning more Team Green. Will probably make a decision near the 20 week mark. This pregnancy has been WAY different than my last two, so for that reason only I'm thinking we're team Pink!

I can't wait to find out! I was leaning toward girl because the heartbeat was at the high end of the range but I heard that's an old wives tale. Can they really find out at the NT scan? I will be 13 wks 4 days. If not then, we will find out at the A/S. I feel like I can't start planning anything until I know! Idk how you Team Green ppl do it! Patience has never been my strong suit though...

I don't think you can find out at the NT scan; I think it's too early.

You can potentially get an educated guess at the NT scan, but that's only if your tech is willing to do so. I've had five NT scans and only once had a tech even bring up the possibility of being able to tell the sex. At 12 weeks, the genitals of both males and females look the same, but there are theories about very slight differences that experienced techs may be able to interpret. It can be kind of a fun thing to speculate about until the anatomy scan, but I definitely wouldn't trust a sex determination made this early to be completely accurate.
